If you're just running and either dive or fall on your own, the ground can cause a fumble. The only thing that's really different is a QB can give himself up by sliding feet first. I think it's pretty straightforward.
Bradshaw was definitely touched (Eagle defender definitely hit him on the back as he was falling down). And I guess the wrist is part of the arm ... which means you are down. It did look like his upper wrist hit the ground before the ball came out (or causing the ball to come out). So, the ground caused the fumble.

The forearm down should only apply if both feet are in the air same time. But if he is still up on his feet like the case of Bradshaw the play should still be live.Whatcha Gonna Do Brother, When the Eagles run wild on you?
